Differences between syndrome, disorder and disease

Hey guys ! :)

I was just wondering if we needed to know about the differences between syndrome, disorder and disease for the Unit 4 exam or any of the aos 2 sacs.
This may sound liek a really stupid question, but I don't understand how interpretive bias occurs in the cognitive model of phobias.
Also , I wanted to know what is the best preparation for the first sac , the annotated folio of practical activities ?

Thanks heaps guys !
nooo holidays are nearly over!

Heyy :) You don't have to know those definitions and I doubt they'd examine you on them since they're not stated in the study design :)

In the cognitive model for phobias, the interpretive bias pretty much explains how people with phobias tend to INTERPRET or judge ambiguous or normally neutral stimuli and situations as being threatening or as alluding to their phobic stimulus. E.g. if a person has a phobia of blood, they might become anxious upon seeing tomato sauce (the ambiguous stimulus). Or a person with a spider phobia might interpret a piece of fluff on the floor as being threatening because it looks like a spider
